Pieter de Korver Wins EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo
Pieter
de Korver, an unlikely player from the Netherlands, fought through
an
extremely tough field of 935 players to take the EPT
Grand Final first prize of
3,000,000$. At one point
at the final table de Korver was down to only three
big
blinds, but battled back.
In the final hand De
Korver was facing 2nd place winner Matt Woodward. De Korver
held
9-6 to Woodward's 6-4, and the flop came 10-6-5. Woodward bet
700k, and de
Korver raised all-in almost immediately.
After some consideration Woodward called.
The turn came
Queen of Spades, and the river 7 of spades, making no difference
in
either case. De Korvers superior 9 kicker took it all.
Matt Woodward received a
little more than 1.7 million for
his second place finish. Here's a look at the top five
winners
list:
1)Pieter de Korver: 3.05 million dollars
2)Matt
Woodward: 1.72 million dollars
3)Mikhail Tulchinskiy: 1.06
million dollars
4)Dag Martin Mikkelsen: 796 thousand
dollars
